Stop Rushing!

I don’t understand. Why are all of you people in such a rush? Some of you rush around EVEN IF YOU’RE ON TIME. I find that to be incredibly pathetic. It also perfectly illustrates how fucking clueless most people are as they drift through life with no structure, discipline and determination to improve themselves.

It starts in the mornings, as I walk to the train station from the parking lot. Some days I admit I cut it close. Most days, there are at least 5-8 minutes until the train leaves. That’s more than enough time to calmly walk across the busy road (the cars fly by at 645AM) and get to your seat. What do I see instead? There are always 5 or 6 frazzled people, running across the street, bags dangling from their shoulders, furtively looking at their watches, and running across the street. Once in a while someone stumbles and falls. Most of the time they just keep running like maniacs until they reach their seats.

Sometimes they pass me and give me a weird look like “Why isn’t he doing the same thing?”. I don’t have to rush because I plan ahead, you morons. As the others are rushing by, huffing and puffing up the steps and down the platform, most of the time I calmly look at my watch and see that I always have at least 5 minutes to go. Let the idiots be idiots.

Then there’s the people on the Fail Road who stand up for the Jamaica stop TWO STOPS before it and stand two inches away from the door literally staring at it until it opens. Then they make the mad dash across the platform to the connection. I admit this is pretty bad. Especially with the inconsistency of the Fail Road to keep track assignments and even track placement of the trains. Yet these idiots push others out of the way just so they can get a seat on a train that’s 4 minutes earlier than the next one. Trust me, you’re not missing out on anything.

Finally we have the subway rushers. You know who they are. They hear A TRAIN coming into the station, assume it’s their train, and run down the steps and push through the turnstyle only to see that the train they HEARD is really the express that DOESN’T STOP AT THE STATION. Or there are the people who always stand in the doorways and never move during the trip. I can’t stand these people.

I just notice this shit, I can’t help it. And it makes me crazy.

Stop rushing. Get a digital atomic watch. It’s ALWAYS on time and never wrong. And just wake up earlier,. cut out the crap in the mornings and prepare on being ready. And, do things the night before so they are ready. Enough of this shit. You’re making yourselves crazy for nothing.
